artificial force to piece of evidence. and

its natural inherent force"
Had the Legislature the constitutional
power to do this? That is question which
probably the Supreme court win be called
upon to decide. The evidence which
the United States license furnishes is
clearly circumstantial, and it is a we'll
known principle that in order to find a
person guilty on circumstantial evidence
the jury must be satisfied that the circum-
stance or circumstances are not only
consistent with the theory of the persons
guilt, but inconsistent with every other the
DRY. The payment Of United States IL
cense while consistent with the theory that
the man who has paid it is a common seller
of intoxicating liquors, is by no means in
consistent with the theory that he is not.
The Legislature, however, has declared that
it shall be treated as consistent with the
former theory and inconsistent with every
other
As bearing on this point of constitution
ality the decision of the Supreme court Of
Massachusetts on legislative enactment
closely analogous to the one under consider
alton is of interest. Some years ago the
Legislature of Massachusetts declared that
the delivery of intoxicating liquors in shop
should be prima facie evidence of their sale.
The point was raised that the Legislature in
making such declaration had exceeded its
constitutional powers and encroached upon
the right of juries by undertaking to decide
for them the weight of testimony. The
point was taken to the Supreme Court. The
majority decided that such an enactment
was within the province of the Legislature,
but one of the judges in strong dissenting
opinion took the opposite ground, holding
that the enactment was beyond the power oil
the Legislature and unconstitutional

All Of the Canadians do not feel perfectly
satisfied over the course their government is
pursuing 10 the fisheries controversy. The
Toronto Globe says that ''this certainly is no
time for levity or bluster, and members of
the Canadian government should be espe-
cially careful to avoid both" Sir Charles
Upper, OF theiMaedonald cabinet, for saying
in public speech that the Retaliation Act
was passed to meet ''the exigencies of electo-
raj engineering" is reproved with the re-
Election that he does not appear to know
how serious must be the state of things in
any great country when the passing Of such
an Act is necessary to satisfy large portion
OF the population" The position of Canada,
on the other hand is not thought to be SO
well sustained. SHOULD circumstances or
events lead to the proclamation of non-in-
tercourse," suchis the prophecy, even in
Canada ''the only probable alternatives
would be war or the virtual sacrifice of our
rights. AS Great Britain would make al
most any sacrifice to avoid war with the
United States, there is reason to fear that
peace may be purchased at our expense"
When Senator Frye declared in the Senate
that no nation on the face of the earth was
SO heavily mortgaged to keep the peace with
us as Great Britain, the Canadians accused
him of Eblustering. Now their own papers
acknowledge the same thing thing, and treat
il as an original idea.

A leading Democratic paper Of New York
city ridicules Senator Reagan by publishing
a mock advertisement in which the Texan is
represented as anxious to sell cheap "a small
lot of Democratic principles, as the present
owner has no use for them" A fling of this
sort at some younger and more tprecocious
politician would not be anything unusual.
But to lay treachery to Democratic princi-
Piles to the door of John Ii. Reagan, who
was a Democratic Congressman from Texas
in the days before the war, who adhered to
the fortunes Of his party in the South and,
became postmaster general of Jeffe-scn Da-
vis's Southern Confederacy.,.s since the
war has steadily expended Democratic
principles in Congress, and who has now
been elevated trsle United States Senate
to charge syn Democrat with selling out,
is a persofmance which arouses excusable
cuys5sity. This curiosity can be readily sat
gisfed. Mr.. Reagan has seen fit to write a
letter favoiing the prohibition of the liquor
traffic, and expressing regret that Democrat
should seek to identify that great and grand
historic party with the fortunes and fate of
whiskey shops, drunkards and criminals,
This explains why the applauders of Gov
ernor Hills veto are ready to read Reagan
out Of the party.

In considering the prospect that Speaker
Carlisle may become President of the United
States at some near day, the New York Sun
raises the very pertinent point that by that
time the sentiment of Kentucky may not be
so favorable to Mr.. Carlisle as at present.
Mr.. Carlisle has not only been free trader
himself but has advocated the adoption of
free trade by the Democratic party as a
national issue. But now change is coming
over the minds Of the voters in the Blue
Grass State. There are immense deposits Of
coal and iron in Kentucky, and Kentuckians
are beginning to find it out And, as is
the case in Georgia land Alabama and Vir-
ginia, in short wherever in the South manu-
featuring industries are growing up, there is
beginning to appear also sentiment in favor
of protection. But Mr.. Carlisle's sentiments
are Numerically opposed to protection.

PrIma Facle Evidence.

What is prinaG .facie evidence is question
frequently asked in view of the provision of
the new liquor law, which makes the pay
ment OF special United States tax as liq-
nor seller prinad .fdcie evidence that the per
son paying it is a common seller of intoxicat
ing liquors. Prinsa facie evidence may be
generally defined as evidence which standing
alone and uncontradicted, would maintain
the proposition, and warrant the conclusion
to support which 1t is introduced Evidence
may be of this kind from its own natural
force, or it may be given that force arbitra-
rily by legislative enactment. OF the former
kind would be the finding on the premises
where a robbery had been committed of the
hat or some other article of clothing of a
person who could have been there for no
lawful purpose. That circumstance, unex-
planned. would of its own inherent force
warrant the conclusion that the person to
whom it belonged was the robber. If, on
the other hand, a man was found with fish
In his possession, that fact of itself would
not be sufficient evidence to warrant the
many staGes fhee h stHFhte tsbeipa r dRscgtah9
that such possession in close time shall be
sufficient to warrant such conclusion. That
is an example of evidence not naturally
prinlG fGcie, made so by statute.
The payment of a United States tax in and
of itself does not warrant the conclusion
that the man who paid it was within the time
laid in the Indictment common seller of
intoxicating liquors. 1t is a circumstance
tending to prove that but it is not conclusive
evidence, because while it is consistent with
that theory tits not inconsistent with other
theories. The man may have been an apoth-
ecary, and taken it out with no intention of
selling liquor, but under the impression the
payment of the tax was necessary as con-
dition precedent to his using alcohol in the
compromising of medicines. Or he may have
taken it out with the intention of selling IL
quor, and afterwards have changed his mind,
and as matter of fact, not have sold a drop

States tax was piece of evidence for the
jury ITO weigh and to give just such force, as
in view OF all the circumstances of the case,

Tit was entirely for them to decide.
what the Legislature has done is to fix the
weight OF this evidence for them. Hereto
fore the court has said to the Jury: at Is
for you to decide how much weight shall he
given to the fact that the defendant has paid
a United States license" Hereafter it will
say, 1.-THE Legislature has fixed the weight
of this species of testimony, and you are
bound to take it at that weight. The Lsgis-
Iature has declared that unexplained it is
sufficient to maintain the proposition that
the defendant is common seller of intoxi-
eating liquors, and you must so consider it.
The minute it is introduced the presumption
OF innocence with which the law surrounds
the defendant is swept away and presump-
ton of guilt takes its place, which the de-
PENDANT must remove in order to secure an
acquittal. The Legislature has given an
